You could try a utility like hztool.exe, which allows you to customise
refresh rates for every resolution.

Hope this helps

Just curious - not using a Belinea monitor are you Simon? I too have had to
use hztool to stop Windows loading with crazy refresh rates - in my case my
Creative GF2 GTS was trying to drive my Belinea 102030 at a higher frequency
than it can display, with the result that the monitor shut itself off
leaving me no option but to reboot in safe mode.

I get this problem with the 6.72, 10.80, 12.40 and 12.41 drivers. I'm using
the 10.80 at the moment as they're all pretty much the same and those were
the last ones I tested. Incidentally the 6.72 drivers are the only version
of those four detonators that would work with the MBTR demo, the other three
all dropped huge amounts of polys (e.g. didn't draw wheels on any of the
trucks, or sometimes it would *just* draw the windscreens, etc).

Cheers
Jim
